This video was taken by Paul Wingo, who was sitting in the back. I have uploaded it here WITH HIS WRITTEN PERMISSION.

Cessna 172 RG

Charles W. Baker Airport
USA January , 2007

From Paul Wingo:

"There was a snow storm approaching in about an hour and we were doing a check ride. Because of possible ice, we had been flying with the gear down the entire time. We started doing touch and goes after a while. Habit when you take off is to raise the gear. This is what happened. So, when we come around, they were conversing and what not and simply forgot the gear was up. The prop got bent up pretty bad along with the belly of the plane."

  • Please tell me the gear was stuck up, and the emergency gear down handle was broken, and everyone in the cockpit were deaf and the flashing light accompanying that gear up situation was burned out?!

  • That sounded expensive.

  • Look mom, no gear!!

  • BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

    Whats that noise? Idk, just ignore it.

  • @vhmam I think the PIC was the applicant (DE's are discouraged from being PIC although there are some uncommon situations in which they will be) . In anycase he doesn't legally own the video. The guy who took the video is the legal owner unless the DE made him sign otherwise before the flight.

  • My passengers never fly anyway, just act like it's normal...oops I can't taxi like this...SH@T! No biggy, just paint some hot rod flames down the bottom and sides and nobody will no the wiser

  • Yeah I like to use half the runway too.

  • @theturnerconnection I was thinking the same thing. You cant miss that annoying ass gear horn

  • ah anybody can land with wheels down.. he what if i do this..i bet there was alot of fuck yous being called in the cockpit

  • There's them that has and them that will.........

  • checklists exist for a reason...

  • beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep, 2/3 down the runway is a Go Around... distractions cause this every time - at least Cessna got the hint, they don't make piston retractables anymore... as the saying goes, "it's not IF, but WHEN you land gear up." ouch!!
